The continents are constantly shifting. There was never a time or location that it has happened more or less. Scientists estimate that they drift 2 cm (0.8 inch) per year on average.
Its fossils are found in many different places like South America and Africa which support the theory of continental drift.
Drift is a word that generally means to move slowly away from the origin... It has many uses, such as continental drift wherein the continental plates move relative to one another through various geological processes such as convection, subduction, and diversion.
One. The supercontinent called Pangaea.
Continental Drift has affected the evolution of animals, the worlds geographical positions and the world's climates. There are also many horrendous effects of continental drifts, like Earthquakes and Tsunamis.
Pangaea, (or Pangæa, or Pangea) was the single supercontinent that existed between 200 and 300 million years ago. There were others at earlier times.
Continental drift is one of the many affects of the earth and it can harm the earth because it could crash into other countries
once but in the distant future the continents will thus drift together hence creating another supercontinent.
Its fossils are found in many different places like South America and Africa which support the theory of continental drift.
the Continental drift....
I think about 2 years

Continental Drift is an obsolete name for the theory of Plate Tectonics and yes, it is true. It has been proved in many ways, by comparing the composition of oceanic crust and its ages with that of the continental crust, by plotting the reversals of magnetism in the oceanic crust and many other ways.
One, it was named Pangaea
Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory has subsequently been honed by scientific discoveries to the more all-inclusive plate tectonic theory which is generally accepted by earth scientists.
Yes, the presence of the same organisms on multiple continents suggests that at some point in the past, those continents were connected. This supports the theory of continental drift, which explains how landmasses have moved over time. The distribution of these similar organisms across different continents provides additional evidence for this theory.
continental drift can change there earth in many different ways like land forms and climates for example the Hawaiian islands were originally and under water volcano but over the years it has traveled under the crust making new land.
All grand theories are hard to believe at first because they do not necessarily fit into conventional thought of the time. It takes time for new experiments to be thought up of based on the hypothesis and for them to be run. Often times the technology to support these experiments have not been invented yet. This was harder to prove because it was not easily visible.
